Full text of Illinois Illinois Compiled Statutes § 7, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 7.

The owner shall be entitled to regain possession of the property by petitioning to the circuit court for restoration of possession and, upon due notice to the plaintiff organization, for a hearing on such petition. At the hearing, the court shall determine proper compensation to the organization for its expenditures, including management fees, based on the organization's reports to the court. The court, in determining the proper compensation to the organization, may consider income or receipts received from the property, and the increase in the market value of the property resulting from the rehabilitation by the organization. In no event shall the amount paid be less than the amount spent by the organization plus management fees plus interest. After the owner pays the compensation to the organization as determined by court, the owner shall resume possession of the property, subject to all existing rental agreements whether written or verbal, entered into by the organization.
